It is call Karma Yoga
Karma is Action
In this case Action is Holy Work

I am planning on making a no dig garden
by layering hay compost soil manure and all kinds of organic matter on top of card board and covered over with straw

How long will a no dig garden last?
Will i need to replace it each year?
Just add more layers?

i just look at it from my point of view rather than the farmers p.o.v.

I don't want to tell you a long story. but i would like to tell you that i enjoy where i am. I have everything i really need, even my own meditation space. This is the first farm i've worked on where i don't feel like i'm some ones slave. We even share the same spiritual path, which is part of why i am here. They are vey compassionate and caring of my needs. They even gave me my own plot of ground to plant vegetables for myself and seeds to start, i just gotta clear out all the overgrown grasses and plants.
Anyway my problem is I am finding it dificult to motivate myself to actually put in my hours each day.
Perhaps it is Diet and Sleep related. Or i could just use some more insight into permaculture techniques that would be enjoyable to accomplish. Maybe thinking of it in terms of work hours isn't the best approach. Or perhaps it would be more fun to have more kids like me working with me. But the Truth is I want to enjoy working hard.
Do you have any words of motivation or inspiring thoughts to get people in the right mindset, that you have found along the path of working outdoors?
